7 Mile Run: Brownell - Shades Creek Greenway

My original plan was to run 6 miles, but that would have meant wearing the Timex/Garwin Time and Distance GPS. Of course, it didn't dawn on me that I could have done my 6 mile loop through Mountain Brook. So, I went to the end of Shades Creek Greenway for a total of 7 miles. The run felt great. The TNT folks that normally start Brownell at 6:30 am went the opposite direction today. So, I didn't pass or get passed by many runners.

I listened the last Daily Source Code and closed the run with Peter Case. This is an old CD, but, man, I dig this tunes. Interesting that Amazon has no image for the CD. I could scan, but I surely its copyrighted. I got the CD after hearing one of the tunes on the radio while I was in graduate school at Virginia Tech. I thought it was a Joe Ely tune I hadn't heard. I called to find out what it was and discovered that it was Peter Case. I bought the CD and have loved it ever since. It is a bit off the beaten track for my usual listening, but Peter's fushion of blues, country, and probably a few other styles coupled with the superior song writing is just awesome. Not to mention the catchy pseudo-intellectual CD title: The Man with the Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar.
